Q: I just renewed my DACA for two years. Will I be protected for two years?

A: Current DACA recipients will be permitted to retain the period of deferred action and employment authorization documents (EAD) until they expire. If your DACA expires on or before March 5,2018, you can file a renewal by OCTOBER 5, 2017 and get two more years. Those whose DACA expires after March 5, 2018 will not be eligible for renewal. No new initial applications will be processed.
